Delaney's

I had not been to Delaney's in many years. My brother worked there in high school bussing tables and chopping onions for their famous onion strings, so we would go there as a family on occasion to support the local business that would employ him. It is about the same place as it has been for years on Madison's west side.
I had a decent vodka gimlet at the bar before dinner. They didn't have a ton of beers to choose from, but they had a couple decent beers. I got a Lake Louie APA with dinner. We had to get the famous onion strings as an appetizer which are good but filling. I saved some to mix with the steak and hash browns. Salad and sourdough bread also came with the meal and was pretty standard. I got the ribeye medium rare for 34$. It was well cooked, and served on a hot skillet with a big slab of butter.
We had a server in training, so we had lots of people checking in on us between him and his trainer. They were both nice. Delaney's is a pretty good value for the dollar like Outback. It was a bit more expensive than Outback, but we got better sides, salad, and the drinks options were better. I give it a B-.
